Project Cost Management

Last week I published a presentation from Slideshare on Project Schedule Management. It is a dense and PMI oriented approach to planning and controlling your project scheudle.

There is a companion slide pack on cost mangaement by the same author.

Just like the last one, it's full of solid content.

This one is shorter.

The thing that caught my eye was parametric estimating; which is essentially using mathematical models to do your estimates. Think this; if one unit of work costs $1.000 then 10 units of work should cost $10,000. Simple, but with the obvious potential for elaboration into vastly sophisticated models that I couldn't comprehend.
